From here, you can worship at the three main shrines of Ise Jingu (Kashiko-Toko, Ko-Reiden, and Shinden in the Imperial Palace).
The shrine is located halfway up the Rokko Mountains in Nishinomiya City.
This sacred place is covered with a forest of natural monuments and is believed to be a place of fertility and safe childbirth.
On the hill behind the shrine is a huge rock called “Koshikiiwa,” which even Toyotomi Hideyoshi was said to have been unable to move.
Koshikiiwa, a giant rock about 40 m in circumference and 10 m high, has been a symbol of the shrine since ancient times and is the origin of its name.
There are many stories in various places about disasters that occurred when people tried to move or remove the sacred body or the gravesite of the god.
